Synopsis: In spite of the injury sustained in last week’s chapter, Shirahoshi is still swimming (♫ just keep swimming!) as fast as she can which causes the Noah to move away from Fishman Island. The fish people try to slow the ship down (silly creatures) and Hodi makes his way over to Luffy who is in his protective air bubble! After getting a solid wallop to the face Hodi still has the gall to tell Luffy that he’s inferior. Tch! Shirahoshi’s brother, Fuka-something, saves Luffy just in time. Hodi loses interest in the straw hat pirate (for now) and zooms away to where Vander Decken is. This fishy mofo then STABS the fugly feline and earns 100,000,000 cool points!!!!

Likes: Well the kitty had it comin’. I’m happy. If he dies what will happen to the ship? Hopefully it will fall unto Fishman Island and kill everyone. End of manga. *Mojo Jojo eeeevil laugh* I jest. NOT! Haha! Okay no, I jest…… 😉 As for Runawayhoshi ( Runaway Bride?) I have to give her some props for doing something constructive instead of wasting everyone’s life force with her infernal crying.

Dislikes: Not much to dislike in this one. Not much to like either, except for long awaited impalationization!!! Usually, right after some climactic something, the chapters that follow are ridiculously dull, boring and annoyingly disappointing. NO! Let’s keep this pot cooking! This arc definitely needs some Fairy Tail seasoning, eh Sanji?

More Chapter Ratings:

mu§e: 7.5/10 – A very nicely done prep chapter. Not much more to say than that. Nothing extra-ordinary happened but it left me waiting to see what would happen next week. I do have a question though…how did Hody’s sword fin thingy stay on his back? :S I see no straps or anything like that. Is there a hole in his spine or something? Lol. I thought that was interesting. I’m also kinda glad he stabbed that damn creep Vander Decken. Now if only he’d stab himself -_-.

Random Smelly Topic: Pirates are dirty rotten smelly scoundrels aren’t they? With the exception of my sexy husband, obviously. He’s always fresh and clean. He can be a bit dirty sometimes mind you 😉 In your opinion, who is the smelliest character in One Piece? Don’t be afraid to give your answer below! 🙂
